oft the great river's mouth lot
several days tho captain gave it
up and headed for San Francisco
bay, which he reached safely.
HS anchored about where the
bay bridge now touches land
on, the San Francisco side, and
the padres came off from the
mission to meet him. Soon word
of" his presence reached Monterey,
capital of Alta California, and the
governor came overland to Wel
come the Russian visitors.
He was accompanied by an of
ficial party. The official party In
cluded wives and daughters. The
upshot of It was a series of gay
patries that ran on through the
days and the nights and the
weeks.
It sounds hard hearted, but the
captain and his crew, recovering
their health quickly on a diet of
California's fruits and vegetables,
seem to have forgotten temporari
ly their scurvy-ridden comrades
up in Sitka.
JUDGING by what has come
down to us In the old chron
icles, there has perhap .novtirj
been a period more socially glanin
orous than Spanish California', tf
was equalled by the Old South In
Ihe half century preceding the
Civil War, but apparently not ex
celled. Both were steeped In the ro
mance tjiat accompanies a feudal
civilization In languorously de
licious climates.
a
WE must'nt forget that these
Idyllic, feudal, aristocratic
civilizations, all down through the
world, seem to have been found
ed on human slavery In some
Jnrm or other.
:It was so In Athens. The his
torians tell us that In the Athens
ot Pericles every CITIZEN was
competent to rule the state. We
are less Impressed by that state
ment when we stop ot think that
the CHEATER PAUT of that
population was a SLAVE popula
tion. Only the freemen were citi
zens. The slaves did the work.
The citizens had the fun;
.So It was In Ihe romantic, pre
war Amrrlmn South. The black
slaves did the work. The white
masters lived Ihe Idyllic life.
; And so It was In Spanish Call
fornia. The semi-slave native In
fKans performed the labor and
their Spanish masters enjoyed
the gay parties.
IV time, however, the Russian
captain of the ship remember
ed his countrymen- In scurvy In
fested Sllka, loaded his vessel
with Ihe fruits and the lush vege
tables of tho great valleys and
turned his prow homeward, ar
riving In time to save those who
were still alive.
OUT of this excursion, It Is In
teresting to recall, arose an
odd but for Its day and time a
considerable commerce.
The next- Russian ship to head
for California carried a cargo of
ICE from Ihe foot of Ihe mighty
Taku clavier. This Ire Vas ex
changed for Ihe wheat of the
Sacramento and the Sun Joaquin
Valleys, which was can li d hack
1o Sitka and ground on the ntnnr
mills the Russian had set up and
the Hour In its turn was t.iKen
back to San Francisco b,iy and
exchanged lor more agricultural
ptcxlutv of Ihe rich California
toil. '
This trade was welcomed by

AN INCOMPLETE REPORT
( Yielding' in part to requesU of Umpqua Kiver sportsmen,
the Oregon State Game Commission at its meeting in Port
land Saturday lifted its complete prohibition against fishing
for spring Chinook salmon. The new order permits a limit
of one fish per day and two fish in any seven consecutive
days to be taken from the main Umpqua River and from the
North Umpqua as far upstream as The Narrows at Idleyld.
A sanctuary Is provided between the highway bridge and
the power dam at Winchester. The season, which opens
Jan. 1, will close May 31.
While sportsmen doubtless will feel that the limitation is
unnecessarily drastic, there is sound basis for emergency
measures to protect the npriiig; Chinook run, Which has be
come seriously depleted. Upriver sportsmen recognized this
fact when they voluntarily urged upon the Game Commis
sion a curtailment in bag limit to three fish per day, or an
equal number of fish in any seven consecutive clays.
The commission proposed complete closure of spring Chi
nook salmon fishing upon basis of a report and recommen
dations compiled jointly by biologists from the game de
partment and the fish department. For information of per
sons not familiar with the. Oregon set-up, it should be ex
plained that angling is controlled by the Game Commission,
while the commercial fishery is under supervision of the
fish Commission.
The legislature two years ago instructed the commissions
"with their staffs and such additional personnel as may be
necessary," to conduct a study of Oregon coastal streams
south of the Columbia River and "together" bring in a
report to the forty-fourth legislature.
This study was started on the Umpqua River late in 1915.
Findings cover one full year. The report of the biologists
has appeared in preliminary form, but still is in process of
final revision before being submitted to the legislature.
We believe the Game Commission has erred in several
respects with relation to the report, and, more particularly,
in using the report, as a basis for regulations of the sport
fishery, pending further study of the findings and applica
tion of those findings to recommendations for management
of the river for the best interest of the greatest number oi
people.
While the legislature directed that the commissions sub
mit a joint report, it did not necessarily mean that the
report must show the commissions nor their biologists to
be in agreement on matters of policy. The commissions,
however, assumed that they must reach accord, and the
report, therefore, appears in the nature of a compromise.
The biologists are not to be criticized, for they were defi
nitely limited by the wording of the act under which the
study was made. The legislature specified that they should
'!'Ou.lider ateelheads as having primary value as mgiimc
.T W j ... i. , i . .. .
i!4ii, -nun finimon, snao antt siripea oass as having primary
value as food fish." IJut another clause slating "that their
recommendations shall be for tho purpose of conserving all
species for the greatest value to the greatest number of
people for the greatest length of time," ojiens the way for
presentation to the legislature of honest differences of opin
ion between tho two commissions.
The report in its present form, following directions con
tained in the law to treat salmon as a food fish, approaches
the study from the angle of preserving the commercial fish
ery. It does not attempt to point out what wo believe to be
an obvious fact that the Umpqua River is potentially more
valuable to the "greatest number of people for the greatest
length of time," if maintained strictly for recreational
rather than commercial fishing.
We believe it evident that the Umpqua River cannot
support both recreational and commercial fishing. It can,
however, with proper management, become an outstanding
sports stream.
It is our opinion that the report soon to be presented to
tho legislature is not complete. The act directs that the
commissions "with their staffs, etc." shall bring in a report.
The staffs the biologists have prepared their report but
wo ha? heard of no recommendations by the commissions.
Yet it would seem that the legislature expects the commis
sions to make known their opinions. Naturally, those opin
ions would be divergent, but the art does not, as we inter
pret it, prevent differences of opinion, despite the fact that
the commissions are charged with bringing in a report
"together."
The Game Commission, we believe, would be justified in
recommending to the legislature that the Umpqua 'River
fisheries resource be used exclusively for recreational fith
ing. The Fish Commission, in turn, would be expected to
urge maintenance vf a commercial fishery. The legislature
then would have available arguments and opinions from
both sides, together with factual data gathered by biolo
gists and would lie in a better position to adopt corrective
legislation.
S.F. Hill-Climbing
Cable Cars Must
Quit. Mayor Says
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.
fV Mayor Roger D. Lapham
said yesterday that the lntle old
cable cars, which have boosted'
civic pride as high as the hills
they've clattered up for more
than half a century, must ba re
placed by modern transportation.
Sentimental San Franciscans
who so long have prized their dis
tinctive hillside transit will ob
ject, the mayor told the board of
supervisors in his annual report.
Hut sentimentalists, said Lap
ham, "do not have to pay the
bills and do not have to run the
risk of being charged with crimi
nal negligence in the very pos
sible event a cable breaks and a
car gets loose on any of our
steel hills."
The issue of replacing or re.
taining Ihe system, which at the
outset was hailed as an ingenious
triumph over the horse-drawn
car and the force of gravity, has
divided San Franciscans into two
camps for years.
The miniature cars, operated
by "gripmen" and towed by a
cable sunk between the tracks,
have been advertised like the
Golden Oaie bridge to the tourist
trade. They are a prime subject
for amateur photographers, and
artists have done them in oils
many times.
Today the city has only 38 cable
ears operated on Sacramento.
Powell, Washington and Jackson
streets. A private company
operates another cable line.
The oldest of the city's cars
have been clamboring up San
Francisco's steepest hills for 54
vears. The youngest were built
41 years ago.

Additional Power
Dams Opposed By
Fisheries Group
By PAUL W. HARVKY, Jr.
SALEM, Ore., Jan. 28. P
The legislative Interim fisheries
committee yesterday opposed con
struction o more power and re
clamation dams on the Columbia
Kiver until present dams are
utilized to their full capacity, and
opposed some phases of the -Willamette
Valley Hood control and
power project.
The commission added that ad
ditional power dams might not be
needed at all in view ot the devel
opment ol atomic energy.
The commission said that no
dam can be built without hurt
ing fisheries, and said that even
though Bonneville dam has the
finest system known for raising
fish over the dam by use of lad
ders and elevators, it still has
caused great loss to fisheries.
It opposed McNary dam, assert
ing it would cause even more
fishing loss than Bonneville.
The committee, taking note of
the argument that more dams
are needed because of the power
shortage, said 12 more generators
can be installed at Grand Coulee
and six more at the Kock Island
dam, near Wenatchee, Wash.
"Talk of an imminent power
shortage unless more dams are
built seems to the fisheries people
to be In the nature of propagan
da." the committee said.
It also attacked the argument
that more dams are needed for
reclamation, asserting "not one
acre of the more than 1,000,000
acres under Grand Coulee has
yet been reclaimed."
On the subject of atomic en
ergy, the committee said that in
Ihe near future "Giant dams as
a source of Industrial power may
become obsolete.
Two Projects Diverted
The committee said it endorses
the principles of the Willamette
project, and said its fights against
the proposed dams in the Mc
Kenzie and South Santiara rivers
apparently has been successful,
since the U. S. Army engineers
have adopted plans for alternate
dams in tributaries.
Tho committee still is opposed
to the North Santlam dam, but
it said protests will cease be
cause the dam has been author
ized and some appropriation made
lor it. It win continue to tight,
the committee said, against the
plan for the high dam at Merid
ian, asserting it would "forever
shut off the stream above for
migrating fish."
The committee said It will seek
legislative approval for Oregon
to enter with Washington and
California for a compact to con
trol offshore fisheries, and spon
sor a bill to give the state fish
commission power to have more
regulation over fishing seasons.

Senator Suspects
Russia Working
On Atomic Plant
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. (JPl
Senator McMahon (D-Conn.)
said yesterday he "suspects Rus
sia Is developing an atomic fis
sion plant" In the Ural moun
tains while American and Soviet
officials are debating plans for
worldwide atomic control and dis
armament. The former chairman of the
special congressional committee
on atomic energy added in a
speech In the Senate that this
country must "swap atomic know
ledge for atomic control" imme
diately or face eventual destruc
tion by the awesome new weap
on. McMahon, who three months
ago proposed a compromise con
trol plan designed to get raound
Russia's Insistence upon the
righ of veto, pleaded anew for
its acceptance, declaring:
"It is in the interest of our
own security, to get inspectors be
hind the high walls now so that
we may know what is going on
now, before it becomes possible
for us to be shocked into aware
ness by the sudden explosion of
an atomic bomb in our midst.
"Today we have no way of
know ing what other countries are
doing about atomic weapons or
how far they have advanced. But
this much we do know: Other na
tions are working night and day
on the problem. So long as we do
not have exact knowledge, we be
come prey to fear and suspicion."
